I agree! I bought a bottle of it and gave it away. It's very weak and like you said, there are way better sugar cookie FO's out there.

One of the best leather FO's I've tried and I've tried a lot of them! I haven't put it in wax but it soaked up very nice in aroma beads and smells very authentic. It's very close to the one from Lone Star and Texas Candle Supply only I have a hard time getting the one from LS to soak up in beads. This one is authentic and soaks up well. I ordered two large bottles since people here in Texas love leather!

I think I've had a small bottle of her marshmallow fluff but I honestly don't remember what it was like. Fragrance Buddy has a great one and Rustic Escentuals Toasted Marshmallow is great too but there's not a toasted note to it. The one from Fb almost smells like Vanilla Bean Noel to my nose but I love it.

Thanks! I've been going back and forth for 10 years now on which wax I want to use for shapes, candles and clams. KY para/soy is probably the best for all three of those but I hate the cure time due to soy. UGH!!! What to do! Oh well, I have a hard time making my mind up on just about anything so why should this be any different LOL! I just don't want to have to buy 3 or 4 different waxes and I keep reading where paraffin has the stronger throw but to be honest with you I've not been able to tell a difference between all paraffin and the para/soy mix. Could just be me though.

Thanks! I may have to give it a try.

Lizzy, what wax do you use now if you don't use pillar of bliss anymore? Do you find that all paraffin throws better than a para/soy blend? Thanks! I love the smell of pillar of bliss as well as KY wax and 650 from Flaming LOL! I know that sounds weird but it smells so good to me out of the bag.

Like Lizzy said, they're just like any other FO company. I've ordered from them and liked what I got. You might want to try Midwest Fragrance Co. Studio, Flaming, and others also. Midwest is growing by leaps and bounds and offer great products with great customer service. I've liked what I got from Studio also. You'll find good and bad from each one. Midwest has a facebook page with almost a cult following LOL! They really do have some good oils and the owners are the sweetest.

Which wax did you decide on using?

Is that what it smells like? I've never heard that word before either LOL! I would like a rain scent but like you, I've never found one that smells like rain. They're a clean floral type smell to me but not rain.

If I remember correctly 133 from KY might be a little more on the not so shiny side. I'll have to pour some to make sure. You might add just a tad of soy to your mix or switch the 4633 to 6006 maybe? I know you'd rather use all paraffin though and I can't blame you there. I've also found that the mold has something to do with how shiny mine turn out. If I use a grubby, silicone mold they tend to be not so shiny but a smooth mold seems to show the shine more.

I've been holding off too but Fragrance Buddy had a 25% off sale and I just couldn't resist! I have drawers of samples I'll never use and bottles falling off the shelves because there's no more room but I just can't pass up a sale, especially not a 25% off one with free shipping!

Midwest has great oils and customer service and the owners are the sweetest people!

It depends on what you're making. Are you making container candles, pillars, wax melts etc?

I've had marshmallow fireside from Just Scent and Midwest Fragrance Co. and both are good dupes. I would recommend trying some of Midwest oils. They have some new ones coming out soon, June I think, and they are a wonderful company. Great oils and great customers service and shipping is reasonable. New York Scent and Studio Fragrance both have it also but I don't think I've tried theirs but they do have some good oils too.

Thanks! I'll have to remember that the next time I order.

RE's marshamllow is wonderful but it doesn't have a toasted note. The one from FB is good also but I don't detect any toasted notes in it either. How about marshmallow fireside? That's a B&BW's dupe and it smells really good.

I have marshmallow fluff from FB and it's great but it almost makes me wonder if they got it mixed up with VBN because it smells like it to me. What kind of sale are they having? Is it their regular 25% off sale?

Some of the newer companies I've tried are Midwest (excellent scents and customer service), New York Scent, Studio, Pro Candle supply, Scented Expressions, and Natures Fragrances. I haven't really bought much lately since I haven't been making much and have so many bottles that have never been used but those are some of the newer to me companies that I've ordered from lately.

I love those same type of scents too as well as Colonial/Primitive decor! Have you tried Pilgrims Pie from NG? It's a really good primitive type scent. Their clove is also the best I've ever tried.

Oh yes! I loved strawberry shortcake from CS but they discontinued it. I think I've seen dupes of it though but can't remember where.

I have a bottle of their old formula from CS but haven't tried their new one. I've heard it's not as good. If my memory serves me right the one from NG smells like the old one from CS.

I can defiantly relate LOL! I just got a VERY small order from Maple Street because I wanted to try this oil called Strawberry macaron with vanilla whip and if I'm not mistaken their oatmeal cookie is the same as the one from Millcreek. I need to put it in wax though. The strawberry one I got from MS smells great but it's very close to strawberry pound cake. Both are so yummy!

Never mind. I found an old thread where I had some of it and thought it needed to be sweeter LOL! I get to where I can't remember who I've bought from!

Trying to find a good Bird of Paradise and wondered if you ever ordered a sample from BCN? This is kind of an old thread but I'm hoping you see this message!

On your list I love Mrs. Claus Cookies, Cinnamon Buns and Black raspberry and vanilla. Some of my other favorites are; Mango Papaya 7-up pound cake Balsam and Cedar Bayberry Best Friends Black cherry bomb Butt Naked Caribbean Cherry Crumb Pie Chocolate Orchid Christmas Cabin Cinnamon Sticks Clove-the best I've found! Country Christmas Cream Soda-smells really good OOB. Haven't put it in wax though. Homemade Cheesecake Kicken Cocoa Dragon's Blood Frosted Pinecones Gingerbread Gingered Peach Hansel and Gretels House Mango Tangerine Monkey Farts NG Clean Breeze Sun and Sand Vanilla Lace Orange chiffon cake Orange Clove Peppermint Fluff Pilgrim's Pie- A good primitive scent. I love it! Pink Sugar Potpourri Spice Pumpkin Apple Butter-same one as Flaming Satin Sheets Snickerdoodle Latte Spiced Cranberry Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Sugar Cookie Brûlée Vanilla Bean-smells like Mrs. Claus Cookies Winter Candy Apple Zucchini Bread These are some that I've used and still use from NG and liked.
